American Airlines Refund Policy

American Airlines' policy refers to travel credits as "rollover" credits. A "rollover" credit would be the refund a traveler could receive for the difference between the original purchase price and the new lower fare. If you've already purchased an American Airlines flight - and that flight is subsequently available at a lower available fare that's net of the Airline's change fee, you can get a rollover credit good towards a future flight on American Airlines.

Ticket must be purchased directly through the airline

Ticket must be issued and no portion of the ticket has been used.

No changes to the origin/destination/stopover points/flights/dates.

All conditions of the lower fares/charges are met, including booking code and any advance reservations/ticketing requirements.

When reduced fares are for sale for a limited period of time, American reserves the right to decline to issue refunds.
